Question

One of the following which does not check land degradation-



Control on overgrazing

Deforestation

Afforestation

Creating shelterbelts

​

Answer 1

Deforestation does not check land degradation.

• Control on overgrazing needs to be done so that a piece of land is avoided from being barren because of excessive grazing. Hence, control on overgrazing is a check for land degradation.
• Afforestation allows for more trees to be grown so that a land is not degraded. Hence, it is also a check for land degradation.
• Creating shelter belts is done for preventing soil erosion. Hence, it is also a check for land degradation.
• However, deforestation degrades a land from trees and hence is the correct option.
